Kirk Hammett Answers Your Questions

Sometimes it’s nice to chat with people of like-mind and similar spirit, and so I figured that I’d ‘chat’ with a few of you via the blog by answering some of your questions.

Because recent blogs have seen me talking about Stephen King and werewolves, I have received several questions and comments involving both. Jessica Bottomley told me she was excited to read about my affinity for Stephen King, and wondered if I have read the Dark Tower series at all? I have Jessica, I read the first two books before, and I don’t know, something happened and I just kind of like fell off the program with those books. You know what? I just read that someone is finally going to make a movie based on those stories, starring Idris Elba as the gunslinger and Matthew McConaughey as the ‘man in black’ and it’ll be interesting to see how that turns out.

Tom Hagen just said to me that I should ’never forget Maximum Overdrive’, and I just wanna say that is a film I enjoy watching with the sound off and making up my own plot!! It’s something I learned from my wife. She would see me watching a movie on the airplane, she wouldn’t know what the plot was because she couldn’t hear anything, so she’d ask me if the movie was about about this, this, this, this? I’d say said no, it’s about something completely different but that I liked her take on it. So having seen Maximum Overdrive, it’s DEFINITELY one of those movies that’s fine to watch with the sound off while making up your own story line. The truck is amazing! And I heard that some guy found that big goblin’s head, he was a fan of the film and just by sheer luck he heard a rumor that that head was sitting in a lot somewhere in some other state, went on a trip, tracked it down, found it and restored it. And I think that, you know, fucking bravo for that! It’s something that definitely needs to be preserved because it’s a great looking movie prop in my book.

On a slightly unrelated note, I do like most of the stuff Stephen has written under pseudonyms, like his Richard Bachman stuff. He used a slightly different approach and a slightly different angle to make it seem like he’s maybe writing in someone else’s shoes. And when he does that he totally delivers. Sticking, as we seem to be, with Mr. King, Yaniv Hoobian Schmal says he thinks Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining that Stephen wrote a couple of year ago, is excellent too. I think it’s brilliant but you know what? It doesn’t really touch too much on everything that happened at The Overlook Hotel. It’s Danny as an adult, who finds that it’s his quest to save this girl because she’s the only one who can stop this group of psychic vampires. The leader of the psychic vampires is super cool, and I would love to see a movie made after that book because I enjoyed it. But I was a little disappointed because what happened at The Overlook wasn’t really touched upon as much, or as deeply, as I would have liked to have seen. I would have liked to have seen more of Danny’s insight as an adult looking back at his experiences at The Overlook, trying to maybe figure it out and come up with answers. That being said, as a story in and of itself, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I also can’t wait for someone to make a movie out of it because I think it can be a really, really, really great movie.

Douglas B. says ‘hello, Kirk…’ Hello, Douglas. He suggests that if I haven’t seen the movie Needful Things, which is based on the book, I should. It doesn’t ring an immediate movie bell, so let me look it up…Max von Sydow plays a Nazi…ya know Douglas, I’m drawing a blank BUT thanks to you, I have discovered a ‘needful thing’ I need to check out!

If that isn’t enough, I have Rico Reyes telling me that one of his favorite wolves is the wolf in The Never Ending Story called Gmork! I have never had a reason to check out The Never Ending Story before, but now Rico, NOW I have, so know that I will be checking it out and that Gmork had better be all that!

Bob O’Rourke, you are absolutely right when you say that Ginger Snaps is a cool film, I think it’s great. It came out about 8 years ago, is graphic for sure and the lead girl makes a convincing werewolf. It does have a ‘coming of age’ and puberty theme, something which is explored through lycanthrophy and has also been heavily explored in Cat People, and I suppose there is certainly a link between felines and wolves, but yes! Ginger Snaps is a good movie for sure.

Phil Earle asked me what I thought of Stephen King’s Silver Bullet, and I enjoyed the story but I’m not so sure about the movie. I don’t have much recollection of it. I know some Stephen King movies have left me a bit disappointed, and I guess this was one of them.

Marita Joesoef asked me if I’d seen Crimson Peak, and what I thought of Del Torro’s work. I did see Crimson Peak and I thought it looked amazing. Del Torro has an amazing eye for dressing, and creating, scenes. I thought the movie would be completely different from what it was, and I thought it was OK, alright, it’s not something that disappointed me but I think it was more fun looking at it than experiencing it. Marita also asked what I thought of Tim Burton, and he’s just one of those guys that has such a different perspective, he’s created his own unique vocabulary, he uses that vocabulary for everything he does and that makes him his own unique person in film. I really love Tim Burton’s stuff and I think he takes on super cool projects. Mars Attacks? Dark Shadows? Come ON, I love that. And Frankenweenie? That’s my DOG! And I LOVE Beetlejuice to death, I have a couple of props from Beetlejuice and they’re among my most prized possessions.

Marita also asked something I’ve been asked a lot, which is whether my kids are scared of the collection. The thing is, they’ve been staring at it since they were infants, so they never knew they were ‘meant’ to be scared of this stuff, it’s always been around, it’s always been part of the landscape for them. My eldest kid, Angel, can name all the classic Universal Monsters just because he’s been embedded and immersed in it here. What really scares my kids are real life situations which might be too much to handle. Sometimes I’ll be watching the news and it might go to Mogadishu and child soldiers, which is when it can get a bit heavy for them. I don’t want to see them desensitized before their time, but I don’t think horror movies, or movies in general, will do that, I think it’s more to do with our culture and current events. But don’t worry, I’m not going to be showing them Evil Dead 2 or Friday the 13th Part 58 or whatever!

Finally, Barry Millar asked if I saw Creepshow 2, and saw the the hitchhiker bit where Stephen King makes an appearance as the truck driver. And man, I can’t remember if I saw Creepshow 2! MORE HOMEWORK! I LOVE it, so keep on keeping me on my toes please!

Thank you everyone,

P.S. This is important to say. You know that remake of The Thing that came out a few years ago? Well guess what? It’s a prequel. So I had to reevaluate my thoughts on it, and thanks to Jeremy Wagner for enlightening me on that. Oh, what did I think after learning that context? I haven’t seen it again yet!

I know you get tons and tons of questions on these blogs, and I hate to waste space but if you’re reading this — thanks for taking the time to connect with the fans on a level that means something to you. I’m sure we’d all love to read Metallica stories, but for the same reason that James’ Instagram was cool because it didn’t contain a lot of Metallica and was more personal, this blog is just as great. Thanks Kirk!

Nick M

Totally agree, Crimson Peak was such a let down. It looked OUTSTANDING, but otherwise I feel like Guillermo del Toro has been coasting lately. That said, you guys should hook up in some way and do a collaboration or maybe just videos of each other visiting your collections. Have you seen that dude’s house? So sick! It’d be rad to finally see your house of horrors instead of just little glimpses here and there. The little you’ve shown has been so killer!! And I have a feeling it would surpass anything else we’ve ever seen.

Hi Kirk. I’m such a big fan that my son was named after you:-) my question is do you collect art? Back in 1999 I took a longhorn skull to have delivered to you guys at a Dallas show. I have a feeling it never got to you guys. Anyway check out my art work https://m.facebook.com/Live-Speed-Painter-194355024240440/

If there’s going to be a Mummy reboot, I wish someone would do it with a seriously dark angle instead of the stupid ones that have come out. Tom Cruise’s personal life is probably going to be darker and more evil than anything in the movie.

Fred Norris

I think they’re remaking all of the Universal Monsters movies. I doubt they’ll hold a candle to the originals because everything seems to be so dumbed down lately. Some of the stars attached to the movies leave a lot to be desired. It seems more like they’re rebooting the franchise so they can market it with a bunch of dumb toys which will ALSO be lame compared to the stuff you see in Kirk’s book.

Natália Švecová

Hello Kirky(my best guitar player on the world) !
We all know that you like horror movies and you collect all amazing horror things so my question is:
Do you want to play in horror movie?(btw sorry for my English cause I am from Slovakia).

Nick M

Ginger Snaps! Forgot all about that flick, such a good one and so underrated. I wish Netflix had a better selection of horror movies, and a better discovery feature in general. I tried Shudder out and it was cool, but they lack the cash to license the movies I most want to see.

Fred Norris

What happened to this year’s Fear FestEvil? The first year was amazing, last year’s VIP event was incredible, and even though the location, “circus” and bands were a letdown, Kirk’s Crypt, the panels and photo session with Kirk were so great! A combo of both years or even something new was something we were looking forward to seeing but WTF? Nothing? I’ve seen people say Kirk is busy recording but we’re talking about a couple days of time. He and the other members have done tons of stuff throughout the year. It’s sad to see Rob Zombie or Rock and Shock continue but Fear Fest takes a year off? Talk about killing a good thing. 🙁

Fidelman's Brickwall

Hey Kirk!! Thanx for these blogs, so cool man!
Hey, ever watch horror movies with Cliff or James? I read an old zine that kinda talked about it but thought longer thoughts could be cool, unless there isn’t much of a story there. Anyway, thanks again duder!

Chris Hayes

Hey Kirk, I’ve been a massive fan of yourself and Metallica for about 21 years now. Started playing the guitar when I was 12 simply because I was massively influenced by yourself and haven’t looked back since! I just have one question – I know that you’re a massive fan of horror films, as am I, which film would u like your next guitar to be themed on and why? Best regards, Chris

Salvo

Konrad Apolke

Hey Kirk
I wanna ask you something. I play E-guitar and you’re my Idol. I really wanna meet you but I’m 16. I play E-guitar since I am 13. I live in germany and that’s the reason for my had English but.. Please: Is it possible and ok for you if I would meet you (on concerts and so on) and would you give me guitar-lessons, please? I’d pay a lot but it would be really f*cking nice to meet you for me because it’s a dream. Please answer.

Maria Mancilla

Thanks for responding to me Kirk! Ginger Snaps rules! hahah. Also, you gotta see Creepshow 2 bro! While it’s nowhere near as great as the original Creepshow since it’s only 3 stories instead of 5 (among other shortcomings), the Hitch Hiker story is a classic! Plus, I’m sure Greg Nicotero could tell you some hilarious stories about doing the effects for it! Cheers!

Jake Not From State Farm

I know Kirk keeps this stuff limited to horror (well, except the Bowie story) but holy smokes Ghoul Scream and #1 are so insanely good. A little expensive but it’s like getting 2 or 3 pedals in one. I waited on them because I thought, yeah yeah just another celeb endorsement. I saw the reviews and thought, yeah yeah just another reviewer sucking up to a rockstar but when I tried them hands on? Bro, they’re the real deal! I keep wishing Kirk would do a video, like real deal video on here about them.

Rob Gomez

Dude Salems Lot ,Phantasm,the hills have eyes(original) ,I spit on your grave (original) or how about Motel hell It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s fritters the fog that’s all I watch is the old classics every time I see your callection it brings back memories of all the old movies curse of the werewolf white zombie Texas chainsaw I got to meet Gunnar Hansen at the Orin fest in Detroit we can’t forget Dracula or young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder…lol I live in Michigan and twice I wanted to hit the road and come see you at fear fest but it too damn far hope you have another one this year hopefully you guys have a meet and greet this year I picked up your signature Randell KH100 3 mod that head is a beast man and signature cab with the vintage 30s hopefully I can get you to autograph that KH100 when you come back to Detroit and tell that beaner Robert that his uncle from Detroit says hi…

Yo Kirk. Good to see you being pretty active on the various social channels and your blog – my question in regards to this is, do you write all your stuff all alone and also run your Facebook, Instagram etc. yourself or is there people helping out? It’d be rad if you did it all yourself but I could totally understand if there is more people answering in your name. Cheers from Stuttgart, Germany. Oh and totally off topic, I can’t wait for that bloody new album 😉 have a good one, Val

Mr Von Hammett, over the years I have collected a large number of books on film, mainly in horror. I recently came across one that has proved to be a valuable resource for rare and unknown grindhouse film as well as the very popular works of H.G. Lewis to Wes Craven. It is a coffee sized encyclopedia filled with every possible bit of information for American Exploitation movies of the 1970’s -80’s. It is orginized in a smart and simple format covering genre, directors, and production history of movies during that time period. The book is titled Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploration Independents. It was not a cheap book when it came to the price but the amount of effort and love that went into making it, is priceless with it talking about more than 150 films. I have read your comments over the years about your love of the classics but I havent been able to read about your interest in less mainstream cinema. I am curious on your take on the films that were made not for the faint of heart and rarely saw profit but still managed to change how we see film today. I have yet to find a more comprehensive and well researched book. Even if you are not a fan of Grindhouse the book is worth a look, for its welth of information. I hope in some way I have given you a resource that you previously did not know about, that you will be interested in. And I hope to hear about your thoughts. Keep on entertaining us in all the ways that you do.

Hi, Kirk. I have two questions. I remember reading that you traded your black fernandes Strat for the Black Gibson V. What happened to the Esp natural body you used in the One video. Where the single coils Seymour Duncan classic stacks. I also remember this was before during build process of your Esp Skully.

Toni Mäkinen

Kirk, what is your favourite horror movie music/theme song? What’s your favourite movie moment or scene? Also, i want to thank you for being an inspiration, for i started playing guitar cuz of you. Thanks!

David Margerin

Many years ago, I have the luck to win at a concours to assist to the press conference of Joe Satriani for the release of his ‘The extremist’ album in Paris (France) and he said if he can, it will be a great pleasure for him to play guitar with you on a album. Do you agree with that, Kirk?

Yaniv Hoobian Schmal

Cormac Farley

Hey Kirk. Great blog as usual. Probably not going to read this but whatever. I understand your a fan of misfits. What is your opinion on the 90s era of the misfits lead by Michale Graves. You should check him out on facebook (horror punk music). Thanks for connecting to the fans.

Savannah Wright

Hi kirk how are you? What is your favorite wes craven movie? And also on an unrelated to horror note, what is is your favorite song off of either load or reload? You had some great guitar work on there 🙂 Cheers

Hi Kirk!
Have u ever thought about doing a live question and answer thing on FB Live or Periscope? Or maybe if not live, just do a video of you answering questions? That would be really rad. Thanks for taking the time to even do this one. Love the blog!

RICO REYES

Kirk!!! I have to tell you man you totally made my day, thanks for the mention really cool of you to respond to a few of our comments. I’m gonna totally print this out and add to my awesome Met memorabilia! Glad your planning to check out “The never ending story” pressures on for Gmork to deliver…haha. Hey at the very least just watch it with your kids guaranteed they will love the movie. And scary wolves and all else aside it actually is a pretty cool movie in and of itself i’m sure you will dig it.

Jason Baum

Have you seen “The VVitch” yet? Did you like it? I know you thought “It Follows” was overrated (I did too) although I think it had something, but couldn’t make a fully realized version of what they were going for and the ending was really lame.

Looking forward to Fear FestEvil again, but if I can make a comment about it, go back to something like the first year. Last year only Friday was really good. The circus carny thing outside was sad and there wasn’t enouggh panels or things to do between the signings and the bands. Don’t take that the wrong way, it was still better than most things but it was a little underwhelming compared to first year. I heard everyone loved the murder dinner but tickets sold out before we could get them for that. Anyway, looking forward to whatever you bring us with the next Fear FestEvil! Thanks Kirk!!

Alan

Kirk- thanx for always being down to earth and cool with the fans. James used to be my rockstar hero but I saw him blow off a fan at the Giants game and then again at the COC show last week. I work security and know an over zealous fan when I see one, these two instances weren’t that. Especially at COC. Just a respectful guy waiting to say hi, James shook his head and walked away. Guy didn’t even want an autograph. People give Lars flack but I’ve seen him out numerous times and he’s always cool with people. Same with you (can’t say I’ve seen Rob interact around town). So thanks again for always making time for people, even if it’s just a quick hello, or fist bump.

Mark L.

Hey Alan, I agree Kirk is the most level-headed, peace-maker and all around good guy in the band. Without him the band would have ended long ago. You work security so you should know there is nothing as SCARY as a nut-case fan. or just a nut-case in general. I worked Law enforcement for over a decade and one thing you learn in Security/Law is that you become a student of human nature with the ability to read people. If you watch Metallica TV on You-Tube you would see that James, Kirk, Lars and Robert ALL did the Meet & Greets with the fans prior to 2014. In 2015 only Kirk, Lars and Robert did the Meet & Greets so something must have happened to James (just reading between the lines).. Everyone knows about James rough upbringing and Kirk’s wasn’t great either but I would cut the guys some slack as everyone deals with fear and stress differently. It is way cool that Kirk does this blog and takes time to connect with fans that share the same interest in Horror as we do.

Mark L.

Hi Kirk, again thanks for having this blog. Have you started collecting or ever read any of the old 1950s EC Comic Books? “Tales From the Crypt”, “Vault Of Horror”, “Crypt Of Terror”, “Weird Fantasy”, “MAD” “Crime SuspenStories”, “Weird Science” etc……These Comic Books have the greatest artwork I have ever seen and are a Must-Have for any Horror collector.. If you haven’t had a chance to read any of these I would strongly recommend them. I know Steven Spielberg kind of cornered the market on a lot of the original art work but you can still find the old Comic Books around. I still have a few of the old EC Comics around the house somewhere that you are welcome to have. If you want them let me know and I will gladly send them to you.(My contact info is on your band web site under user XTIC.
Also, growing up in the Bay Area did you ever watch CREATURE FEATURES with Bob Wilkins on channel 2 every Saturday night? They had some of the greatest old “B” horror flicks on that show back in the day. To bad there isn’t a channel on TV like that anymore…..those were the days!!! Take care and good hunting with your collecting, Mark

yill myers

hii kirk.. haven’t read your blog in a while.. but it’s awesome like always.
the movie I saw tonight was a german one named funny games, I don’t know if you know it but I tought it was quit good,maybe you’ll like it!
also I stumbled upon a site named horror .com.. I felt right at home,it has a forum with a whoole lot of big horror fans like us to recommend and discuss horror movies just like here, it’s awesome!
also I found a way to get 2 more seasons of tales from the crypt in a dvd box set and a frankenstein’s monster wallet I found this really cool zombies hand and some comics. what are your last adds to your collection if I may ask?
love yill

Jordan Spory

Hello Kirk! I know that 95% of your questions involve Metallica and not movies or shows etc. But I’m only 15 and I have 10 of your albums and hope to have another one by the end of the year. My buddy and I are creating a band and we are learning to play some of Metallica’s songs so we can continue what you guys have started in the early 80’s. I was wondering if you have any advice that can help us strive in continuing all of the 80’s metal and hard rock styles and keep that music alive. See, Kirk, my friends and I are different than everyone else, were the only ones we know that at least like metal and aren’t in to the new pop and glamour. It is tough for us to fit in very well, I was wondering if you have any help for us when we are looked at differently for wearing Metallica, Megadeth, and Motley Crue shirts that everyone else thinks that they look scary or their music is for the devil and so forth. So Kirk, if you are still reading my long letter, I hope you can (and I know you will) give me and my friend some great advice about how we can better our musical talents and overcome all of our troubles with the denying world. Once again, thank you so much Kirk for what you and your band has done for me, my friend, and the whole Metallica community.

Vayolet

Hi Kirk, last time I asked you ”What do you think about italian horror movies, sometimes called b-movies in collaboration with U.S., often called Masterpieces of the genre? Do you know great directors like Dario Argento and / or Mario and Lamberto Bava? Have you ever seen a movie of the large amount of splatter-horror and psychological thriller filmed in Italy in the ’70s? The most part of them is really disturbing and creepy. ”
Just in case you still want to chat with us, I put bacl here my question.
Kind regards and thank you very much for the answers you gave to the other fans. They are interesting for me too.

Thomas Rohlman

Kirk,i know a friend who has an extensive collection of Karloff original collectables. Boris’ daughter has marveled at his collection when she spoke at CU Boulder Film Stnudies. Bobby is a genuine character who I could see playing in any retro- horror movie today. Seriously he has a hunchback, and Marty Feldman eyes, most of all, he has a beautiful heart, and a tremendous hard working attitude. I am writing to you to see if somehow you could network within the horror industry, during the twilight of life and bring joy to the masses. I would also like to see him paid appropriately for the collections that he is willing to part with. Pleas let me know if this sounds interesting to you.
Thanks
Tom

Vayolet

Thank you very much for the time you spend with us, for your accurate and interesting answers and for talking with us. It means so much to me.
I would like to ask you a question: Do you know the Italian horror cinema of the 70’s and early 80’s? The masters of the genre, as Dario Argento, to mention the most famous?
What do you think of that wave of Italian films which, although cloning from America (but not always !!!), they were really special, disquieting and disturbing? You saw someone? You want me to title a few tips? (This is quite ridiculous, since you have seen everything possible and beyond, about the horror movies. I’m asking you just to be safe). See you next concert. Lots of hugs

Tara Coppola

Such a cool story about your wife guessing the plot of a movie you’re watching while she can’t hear it! And making up your own plot. I read that Michael Jackson (despite what folks may say, my ex works for Tommy Shaw of Styx..,& even Tommy said if folks can’t see MJ’s genius, then they don’t get it)…well, MJ used to make his kids watch The Lord of the Rings Trilogy with no sound. Not to make up their own plot, but to see the true artistry of it. Pretty damn cool…???

Merl Hall

Kirk you have made it from echoville to world fame congrads dude missed you at exodus ( paul bayloffs reunion gathering) but it was cool to see you and jeff and gary side by side ripping out some old riffs you may not see this but I still listen to the Black album daily lol your old pal Merl

Hello Kirk Hammett!:)
I am from Greece!

Daniel T.

Hi Kirk, absolutely love your blog regarding old-time horror and your videos of your own efforts to help preserve its heritage! 🙂 I myself have always been affiliated with horror especially beginning with those of Universal from the 20’s onwards through the silver age to the extent that it inspired me to want to be a filmmaker myself in writing and conceptualising horror narratives. I happen to be from the very home town where Frankenstein director James Whale was born and raised and his story has never left me and remains the seminal reason I find Dudley town worth exploring still. I and my collaborators are currently in the early stages of producing a short film subject on the early life of James Whale titled “James: The Invisible Boy” which details his teen life as an imaginative tearaway set in 1904. We intend to visually capture the essence of his creative genius within horror by utilising the Frankenstein and Invisible Man metaphors to emphasise just what this individual went on to achieve and create and birth the icon of monsters. However, as we are a small independent group with a big ambition that we wish to showcase internationally given the powerful subject matter and horror genre we are currently in the stage of seeking producers and backers to help raise our needed fund goal to acquire the historical town to shoot within and also production costs in terms of costumes and set pieces. With any other funds we raise we aim to a establish a commemorative blue plaque outside James Whales original place of birth to show the rest of the horror world just where the father of Frankenstein was born. As someone who is both a classic horror admirer I hope you can appreciate just how much I personally wish to also preserve the collaborative efforts of all involved who helped to bring us these movies to enjoy a thousand lifetimes over. However, with time unfortunately some of these people fall into further obscurity and the last effort made to depict Whale was in 1998’s Gods & Monsters starring Sir Ian McKellon which gave a more fictitious on his tragic death rather than his triumphant origins on what was to be… We intend to provide that missing those unknown early beginning on what inspired the “Man who made a Monster” and educate others about this remarkable horror pioneer, and with the blessing of Whale’s descendants it seems an endeavour well worth taking on for us; we just really want to get it off the ground.
As the producer/writer/director of this venture I would like to ask if you yourself would at all be interested in investing or collaborating with us in this small project as a producer…? As this is still in the script development and location permit stage we strive to begin production early next year. But anyway, sorry for rambling on, has been a great honour talking to you at least from a like-minded perspective on my part at least. Thanks for reading anyway, hopefully my email has attached and thanks for all the good work Kirk.

MR. Hammett. My name is Dave white.I’m dying That’s where the name Heart Attack Dave comes from. I have 1 question I would like to ask you. What do I need to for 15 min.

Kirk I’ve been a fan since Metallica came out i would love to meet you, James, and Lars. I know that will never happen. what about a letter from all 3 of you? thank you very much your biggest fan Jerry Atwell
